Am I the only one that prefers HG to Git?

I too used mercurial couple of years ago. Back then it was just me using that so dont know how good it is when the whole team uses it. I was also using windows back then and hg was better with that (no cygwin shit needed). Nowdays git just works and our team is pleased with that. Nothing against mercurial 😀

I just find mercurial easier to work with. Currently moving over to Git (new job yay!) but I find it painful to get back into git after using mercurial for so long. It seems to me that Gits biggest advantage is the fact so many services support it. Then again this shows that I'm not a Hit 'power user' yet and have much to discover (I hope!)

Me too. I've switched to Mercurial after very frustrating half of a year with Git and that was so relieving even back then in 2011. When you're reading manuals because you want to, not because you have to. When a tool talks human, not bullshit gibberish can't be red without glossary.

@Hevlastka what's both funny and frustrating is when you want Git to do something non-trivial you're on your own

you are not alone

take git cherrypick vs hg graft

one is a perfectionistic endevaour to pick the best, toss the rest

the other is a process of adding something to an existing thing, making it better

this shows the mindset of git..
